Functions and Inverses. Inverses. An INVERSE RELATION “undoes” the relation. The Inverse of f(x) is denoted by f -1 (x). Inverse. So if f(x) = x – 5 Then f -1 (x) = x + 5. Domains and Ranges.

Domains and Ranges The domain of a relation’s inverse is its range, and the range of a relation’s inverse is its domain. f(x): D R f-1(x): D R -1 2 6 7 -1 2 6 7 1 2 4 1 2 4
More Inverse Find the inverse of the following relation: {(2,3), (4,5), (1,3)}
Try some! Find the inverse of the following relations: • {(3,4), (-4, -6), (-3, 2), (6, -1)} • {(2, 5), (1, 5), (3, 5)}
Functionality of Inverses If a relation is a function, does it’s inverse have to be??
How to find the inverse of a function: Switch the x and y, and solve for y. Ex: y = 5x - 15
Find the inverse: Ex: y = 6 – 2x
You Try! Find the Inverse of the following: • y = x – 5 • y = 2x + 10 • y = 4x + 5
